Absolutely!

I was horrified this morning when I got up and heard that he was at 145 MPH winds.

Don't forget Carmen, Isodore, Hilda, Kate as ones that also weakened. I think it is a climatogical norm and the ones that don't weaken are the rare exceptions. I could be wrong, but I think even Camille and Betsy peaked a little while before hitting land. They just didn't dramatically weaken like the aforementioned whimpy storms.
